Classics Revisited: 1989 OG Nike Air Max Light

Classics Revisited is intended to give our readers a look back on Nike models that have earned their rightful spots in the historical fabric of the sneaker sub-culture.

The Air Max Light might seem like a mere design upgrade from the Air Max 1, but the technological and engineering advances implemented in the shoe serve as an evolutionary landmark of the Air Max timeline. The Light was unfortunately excluded in both the History of Air Pack in 2005 and the Nike Air Attack of 2010, making the Light quite possibly the most underrated shoe in Nike Air Max history.
